5 Ways to Use the Apimeme Public API with JavaScript

The Apimeme Public API is an amazing resource for developers who want to add memes to their applications. Here are 5 ways you can use the Apimeme Public API with JavaScript:

1. Display Random Memes

fetch("http://apimeme.com/meme?meme=Advice-Dog")
.then(response => response.json())
.then(json => {
   const image = document.createElement("img");
   image.src = json.data.url;
   document.body.appendChild(image);
});

This code is a basic JavaScript fetch method that fetches a random image with the meme type of "Advice-Dog", converts the response to JSON, and displays the resulting image on the HTML page.

2. Choose a Specific Meme Template

fetch("http://apimeme.com/meme?meme=Grumpy-Cat&top=Top%20Text&bottom=Bottom%20Text")
.then(response => response.json())
.then(json => {
   const image = document.createElement("img");
   image.src = json.data.url;
   document.body.appendChild(image);
});

This code displays a Grumpy Cat meme with custom text on top and bottom of the image.

3. Use a Pre-existing Meme

fetch("http://apimeme.com/meme?url=http://i.imgur.com/1dSbJ.gif&top=Top%20Text&bottom=Bottom%20Text")
.then(response => response.json())
.then(json => {
   const image = document.createElement("img");
   image.src = json.data.url;
   document.body.appendChild(image);
});

If there's a pre-existing meme you'd like to use, it can be added to your site using the apimeme URL.

4. Generate a Meme with Custom Text

fetch("http://apimeme.com/meme?meme=Condescending-Wonka&top=Top%20Text&bottom=Bottom%20Text")
.then(response => response.json())
.then(json => {
   const image = document.createElement("img");
   image.src = json.data.url;
   document.body.appendChild(image);
});

Using this code, you can customize the top and bottom text of the Condescending Wonka template.

5. Mix and Match Meme Templates

fetch("http://apimeme.com/meme?meme=Condescending-Wonka|Y-U-No|Futurama-Fry|Chemistry-Cat&top=Top%20Text&bottom=Bottom%20Text")
.then(response => response.json())
.then(json => {
   const image = document.createElement("img");
   image.src = json.data.url;
   document.body.appendChild(image);
});

This is a fun way to mix and match between multiple meme templates. In this example, the Condescending Wonka, Y-U-No, Futurama-Fry, and Chemistry-Cat templates are chosen and customized with text.

In conclusion, the Apimeme Public API is a fantastic resource for developers who want to integrate memes into their sites and applications. With these five code examples, you can get started using Apimeme in your JavaScript project today.
